The presupposition that "The Left" will lose it mind it interesting but based on what as a foundation? The left has no foundation only emotion and therefore I submit that it will never ceases to find "useful idiots" to fill it's ranks. Reality has no meaning to the vast majority of the left until the age of 38 or 40 years of age. Until then everything is based on feelings and what's cool or trending. This is the burden that Capitilizism bears because of its wealth creation and peace thru strength. The reason the USSR world view failed is because this system doesn't create a real economy. I may and probally am reading history wrong here but I really don't think its much more complicated than this. I do agree that the USA is scared because of this but all the more reason for the adults to with love and patience teach and bind up the wounds Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967257122099328569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-60906256174406819722016-11-25T16:59:04.043-05:002016-11-25T16:59:04.043-05:00Break up the media conglomerates using antitrust l...Break up the media conglomerates using antitrust law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-24790743319772200752016-11-23T19:08:48.245-05:002016-11-23T19:08:48.245-05:00Thank you Daniel for another insightful essay.

The ancient Gnostics failed in a millennial long competition with Christianity, so it migrated to the realm of political religions starting with the Puritan revolution. It has progressively intensified the conflict, so ordinary folk scratch their heads at the conspicuously crazed ideas but the underlying cause eludes them. Intellectuals and analysts see the symptoms at a more detailed level but are often astonished at their audacious agendas, asking themselves can they really be this deluded. As Daniel described the double down is as predictable as calculating our planet's orbit, there are two factors you can always rely on the predict to Gnostic behaviour. One, the claim to an immanent vision of a historical future they approach the present from - which is why they get so angry when people refuse to comply. Get it? You can't see the vision, benighted preterites - in fact the dream is so real to them you must be deliberately sabotaging it which makes you evil. The second is the misconception of the established order as a cosmic fact, not the temporal and tenuous arrangements of men Daniel alludes to. The smirking Gnostic, you can always tell when you're around one. They give themselves away with that stupid grin, like they know something you don't.

The media will always attack Trump. He made them look like Brownie Scouts playing in a pro football game. The left thought they had beaten us into submission with PC guilt but they were sure wrong. If you look at the left close, it's just a Communist movement disguised as Socialism. They use the minority excuse to take power, but it didn't work this time and now their ship is sinking. They are also to the point of being openly racist by calling people who don't agree with them racist. They have two choices: accept defeat and try harder next time, or attempt to topple the country with a Civil War that they don't have a chance of winning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518677967627217789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-46737146639802323792016-11-19T15:44:14.054-05:002016-11-19T15:44:14.054-05:00"Citizens of totalitarian regimes recognize t..."Citizens of totalitarian regimes recognize that they are being lied to."

But despite their efforts in our schools and the media, people have, and continue to exercise, free will.<br /><br />For example, the idea that Hispanic immigrants will necessarily vote Democratic ignores the fact that they come from countries with far less freedom than America. And a significant fraction will sort out that the opportunities they find here are directly related to the degree to which we have, and exercise, freedom and individual rights.<br /><br />I know people, immigrants to America, who have seen socialism in action in their home countries and are inoculated against the 'siren song' of the socialists, 'free everything without lifting a finger'.<br /><br />The worst aspect of our policy toward immigrants is moving them into the welfare state. As with American born welfare recipients, the immigrants who take welfare and don't eventually get away from it end up with dead end lives.Doug Mayfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620167852028046807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-14326490169960808542016-11-19T14:23:04.747-05:002016-11-19T14:23:04.747-05:00For the elites and their media minions we all are ...For the elites and their media minions we all are alien Somalis, even if we are of Viking descent, we all are nothing but a minor nuisance interchangeable and deplorable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-64230638002672914752016-11-19T13:12:14.212-05:002016-11-19T13:12:14.212-05:00Beyond the excesses of personal indulgence in how ...Beyond the excesses of personal indulgence in how they run their businesses, expenses, including their fat salaries, depend on advertising profits and stockholders' tolerance.

Thanks to the internet and brave writers, such as Mr. Greenfield, people can seek and find the truth. Vile Clinton and her paid truth assassins flooded every msm outlet with lies, scrubbed truth from the internet, destroyed people's characters and livelihoods, attacked sites with malware, and murdered sources. The spider web of deceit relentlessly continues to suppress truth, and we must never let the obamas and the merkels force censorship. Thanks to clever hackers, sources, and brave reporters, msm is collapsing. but we get to suffer through its death throes and the freakouts. <br /><br />I cannot respect people who knew facts and consented to lawlessness.

I was stunned by how little analysis they did of their incorrect forecasts, but also by the fact they refuse to admit their world is unreal. <br /><br />A day or two after the election they posted a bunch of women writing how being female had held them back in life. Comments were attached to that story and it filled with more women telling their own stories. <br /><br />A huge pity party. As though the most important issue of the election was that a woman be elected. That's the unreal part of it. They cannot see that it was not that Hillary was a woman, but what her planned program for governing was. That's why she lost! <br /><br />And I say this as a woman who spent her working life in a male-dominated field (I don't remember any time being female held me back).Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041676434895574477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-89592278328829626552016-11-18T16:50:15.508-05:002016-11-18T16:50:15.508-05:00David,

"<br /><br />When you see the incessant flow of leftist garbage from school systems, even those in the midst of "normal" America, the directives from Washington, city and state governments, and academia, as well as the media, it is reasonable to question the "not many" hypothesis. Instead, we are talking about millions of gauleiters working to initiate and enforce their narrative.
